Learner Reviews & Feedback for Programming Languages, Part A by University of Washington
About the Course
uses the languages ML, Racket, and Ruby as vehicles for teaching the concepts, but the real intent is to teach enough about how any language
“fits together” to make you more effective programming in any language -- and in learning new ones. This course is neither particularly
theoretical nor just about programming specifics -- it will give you a framework for understanding how to use language constructs effectively

Emacs is the worst possible editor to deal with for someonw who wants to learn in this course.
This turns out to be and Emacs course, as you spend all your energy trying to deal with issues related to emacs instead of learning what you are here for: programming.
Emacs gets in the way of actually doing that learning. And there is no support. The forum is a joke.
The instructor cares more about emacs than actually teaching programming.
How does this course even gets rated highly?
